Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma is on the verge of joining Galatasaray after agreeing personal terms, according to Fabrice Hawkins.
The Mali international was looking to break into the Spurs side under new manager Thomas Frank but saw his future plunged into doubt after he was exiled from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup clash with PSG following disciplinary issues.
Frank suggested that the situation was now behind them ahead of the opening game of the season, but Bissouma was then absent from the match-day squad with claims of an injury in training, and he was once again missing for the 2-0 win over Manchester City this past weekend.
Bissouma Set to Sign for Galatasaray
Bissouma, who reportedly earns £100,000-a-week at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, is into the final 12 months of his contract in north London and he now looks to be on the move after Frank's decision.
According to a report by RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins, Bissouma has already agreed personal terms with the Turkish champions and talks between the two clubs are now at the final stages.
Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath has since added to that report, claiming that talks are ongoing over a deal that would see the former Brighton star initially move to Istanbul on a season-long loan, with an obligation to buy included for next year.
Tottenham's current midfield options have seen Rodrigo Bentancur and new signing Joao Palhinha installed as the first-choice pairing, while Pape Mate Sarr, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have all featured already across the three games.
It had also been reported that West Ham were keen on a deal for the 28-year-old, with former Seagulls boss Graham Potter open on a reunion, but a move to Turkey will see Bissouma play European football and that is likely to be a key factor in his decision to leave the Premier League.
